Top Ten New-To-Me Authors Read in 2017
Top Ten Tuesdays were started by The Broke and the Bookish and are now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where we make lists of our top ten books (or something else!) based on that week’s prompt. The topics are provided ahead of time and can be found here. Book links bring you to Goodreads or my review.
I read a lot of great books by “new to me” authors this year but decided to really narrow it down to ten! I loved all of these books and can absolutely see myself buying MANY more by them. Some were debut authors and some are more established, but they were all new to Lauren in 2017!
Ashley Poston / Sandhya Menon / Alexandra Ballard
Wendy Brant / Angie Thomas / Julie Israel / Kristan Higgins
Jared Reck / Mackenzi Lee / Karen M. McManus
Kristan Higgins!!! I was so happy to discover her this year too.
Loved that series!
So glad Kristan Higgins made your list! She is one of my favorite go to authors. Love her!
I also read The Hate U Give this year and it tore me up. I loved it and it has really stuck with me. Great list! I’m going to have to check out a few of these for sure!
Thank you 😀
Ooh, a lot of these books are on my tbr for next year because I couldn’t get to them in 2017. All the covers are so pretty, too! I just recently discovered Juniper Lemon’s Happiness Index, and quite honestly, even if the plot didn’t suit my taste, I still would’ve bought it to get my hands on that cover. Can’t wait to see who you discover in the new year!
Oh yay I hope you enjoy!
Geekerella, When Dimplet Met Rishi and What I Lost were three of my favorites too! I really hadn’t expected to love What I Lost as much as I did. It came out of nowhere for me!
